Ooooh ...there would be brown stuff in trousers looong before you get to that angle

In real life the tricky bit of course is the surface ...how slippery is it and how uneven. Bit of side slip and an abprupt stop (sliding against a rock for example) and it would tip far sooner than that. Also movement on the steering wheel could send it over the edge a lot sooner

Not only that, my fridge would probably have gone out...

We have experimented with scarapers before and get them to about 50 degrees safely but when in the field that will be a very different story.As said above movement of vehicle will influence ure roleover greatly.
And when sitting in a van u will stop long before u get to that angle.

Thats nice to know! When I fit my Panda 4x4 Sisley tilt meter to the van (keeps the Steyr Puch theme afterall) I'll know it'll be alright if I keep it on the clock (40°).

I would like to see it get to that angle with a fat bloke in the drivers seat, a tank of fuel and water and a fridge full of beer!
